Latest Breaking News - Home and Family - Viewing: Give Your Dog Its Own Furniture, Made To Match Your Home Sunday, February 21, 2010 Many pet owners know the pain of having the best living-room chairs claimed by their dogs. This can lead to great disappointment for people who have bought the chairs for their own personal use, as well as great embarrassment when dogs get possessive about their seats in front of guests. Just because your dog isn't human, he/she doesn't have to be deprived of personalized furniture. This furniture can also be coordinated with your existing home décor, even customized to match it exactly. A room decorated in a grand Renaissance, Baroque or Victorian style will do well with a brown chaise sofa. Chaise sofas have one end slightly raised, and look a lot like recliners. On the other hand, a dog that lives mainly in a child's nursery can be given a pink or sugar plum tent for a home. On the other hand, your pet sofas can also be exact miniatures of your living room furniture. These could be squarish like an armchair, or rectangular like three-seater sofas. Contoured pet loungers let your pet laze in royal luxury, and fit right into a room full of bright colors. A dog bed framed in wrought iron is a beautiful asset to minimalist rooms, or to rooms with lots of Victorian wrought iron furniture. Rosette frames are also easily available. Apart from the dog's bed, you may also want an armoire to store all your pet accessories. This armoire can be a miniature version of your own, or can be specially customized for your dog, with motifs of bones and paw prints. This is where you can keep your dog's leashes, cold-weather covers, and toiletries like a thermometer, nail cutter, shampoo and so on. The easiest and cheapest way to personalize your dog's furniture is by changing the upholstery. If you have an existing doggy bed that you want personalized, you can buy fabric swaths and get covers tailored for it. If you feel adventurous, you can even ask for custom embroidery - such as a monogram of your dog's name. Faux leather, microvelvet and sherpa fleece are some of the common materials used, as they are friendly to a dog's skin, and are easy to maintain. No matter how fond you are of your pet, I am sure you could live with less hair all over the house. By giving your pets their own space in the house, you can keep your bed, your pillow and your favorite chair free of hair, even when it is shedding season! One caveat, though - no pet furniture maker is responsible if, after all this, you start missing the weight of your pet on your knees at night! Dogs, especially, love sleeping on soft furniture, so this is definitely a treat for the ... er... dogs!
Getting Dog furniture for your home can be highly beneficial for the family. A Dog sofa comes readily in a variety of styles and colors, so just pick what you want! Note: You are free to reprint this article as long as the text links remain intact. Article Views: 20 |
